High up on the list of places to visit in South America is the famous Iguazu Falls. You can visit these majestic waterfalls from either Brazil or Argentina and we decided on the latter for a few reasons: the main one being that we had heard you got a better view from the Argentina side.

At first it just looked like another city, well that's what I thought on the walk from the bus station to the central square at 7am. The hotel we checked into was a being renovated, and we opted for a knackered old room with a lower rate.

We explored the streets, and knowing that we might want to stay more than a couple of days, we looked for alternative accommodation, and found a great little 'apart-hotel' with rented apartments at a reasonable price. As Cordoba became more familiar, and we settled into the apartment, it began to feel like home.

It was late on a Friday evening when we arrived into Salta, and we got our first impressions of Argentina. The bus station was typically crowded and we needed directions to the town centre. Julie asked a local, and we got a warm response.
